The place where this occurred has very materially changed since those days of the early history of our country at large. Their slow quiet and comparitively impensive manner of living has been changed into a fast and more noisy and expension one. The world is moving as slowly but surely to the light of a brighter and more glorious day. The greatest in this is Christianity. Now near to where Fulton built his first cabin in the wilderness, town has been built, our county seat, now numbering several hundred inhabitants, has sprung up as if by magic and where a great amount of business is transacted. From here goes out on a sabbath those soft and solemn peals from the church bells calling together God's people to worship and among them descendants of those brave pioneers, and here too can be heard almost every hour of the day the bold and fearless sound of the iron horse which follow so rapidly on the hills of civilization. Where are the descendants of those brave men and women, who led the van in the early settling of this great part of our country. I dare say almost every nation in the world is represented by them. Fulton's descendants are greatly scattered some twelve states and territories of this great nation of ours is represented by them. His sons and daughters were all married and raised families, except Robert. He was married but raised no family. Our army during the great and mighty rebellion through which we lately passed, was quite honorably represented by his descendants. Their patriotism was aroused and their love of country shown by their enlisting to defend that glorious "Old Flag". In conclusive I say all honor to those brave men and women, who through so many trials and prevalations did such noble work. Let us then as their off springs endeaver more and more to realize the blessings and gifts handed down to us by their memories and ever bear in mind the sacrifices they made, the hardships they endured and the vast amount of toil and labors they were called upon to do.
